I can answer the question easily. SAFe is a way to "do agile" without actually being agile. It's a cargo cult of ritualistic meetings that are prioritised over real progress and creates perfect examples of Goodharts Law.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Well, that's a point of view. Some people want to understand more about SAFe than your private assessment of its merits. That's who I made the video for. Like all frameworks and methodologies, there are domains of applicability and other domains where it does not serve well.I think terming is a cargo cult is derogatory and un-nuanced, though. But that's my private view.

Excellent video Mike; I know there’s a lot of confusion about this topic and your video will help many to better understand scaled agile. Do you expect to see greater adoption of scaled agile in the future?

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Thank you, Stuart. I can't see the future of SAFe, but I do predict (as we near the end of my 'All Project Management is Hybrid Project Management' year) that PMs will increasingly be reaching out for different toolsets to incorporate into our practice to make us more flexible (agile?) while corporate execs increasingly reach out for off-the-shelf magic solutions. This places SAFe and Disciplined Agile (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZC6iGarbamsb5I) front and center, because they both offer a big toolset (for pragmatic PMs) and a solid branding (for eager execs).

so, in big projects SAFe is used, did i get it correctly?

[@Onlinepmcourses]

SAFe is scaleable. It is designed to be usable in small and large projects - and at enterprise level. This is different from the most widely-used agile framework, Scrum. Scrum does not scale well and is not often used in larger projects.
